Build a Nintendo NES PC author hatsuli dies of cancer

It is with great sadness that I share the news of hatsuli, author of the Build a Nintendo NES PC, dying this August. He suffered from cancer for almost two years. His mother wrote to tell me that he was a great fan of the site and visited it everyday.

hatsuli was a runner-up in the Use It Again! contest for his Nintendo PC, which is currently rated among the top 1% of all Instructables.

Very Sad. I just stumbled across his NES PC project recently and am very saddened to hear he passed away. I had heard rumors about the project and decided to check it out. Though it may be a little belated, I am sorry for your loss.
